AnomalyXL: Tiny Recursive Language Model Hits SoTA on Long-Context Time-Series Anomaly Detection

A new paper shows frontier time-series LLMs struggle with precise anomaly localization in long contexts. The authors trained a tiny Recursive Language Model to SoTA using AnomalyXL, an infinitely scalable synthetic time-series generator with programmatic ground truth, and the approach transfers to real-world anomaly detection in software observability, ECG, and sleep data.
